Sign Petition - Expand Access to Biomarker Testing in Massachusetts.

Biomarker testing helps connect patients with the right treatment at the right time. ACS CAN and partners, such as MSCO, are working together to make sure more Massachusetts residents can benefit from this important testing.

Policy action needed to ensure more Massachusetts residents benefit.

• Not all communities are benefiting from the latest advancements in biomarker testing and precision medicine.
• Communities that have been excluded, including communities of color, individuals with lower socioeconomic status, rural communities, and those receiving care in non-academic medical centers are less likely to receive biomarker testing.
• Improving coverage for and access to biomarker testing across insurance types is key to reducing health disparities.
• Without action to expand coverage and access to biomarker testing, advances in precision medicine could increase existing disparities in cancer outcomes by race, ethnicity, income, and geography.
• Insurance coverage for biomarker testing is failing to keep pace with innovations and advancements in treatment.
